Preparing for my interview and my admiration for Robert Frost keeps growing and growing....

Here are some quotes :

Robert Frost´s description of a poem : " It starts with delight and ends in wisdom"

A poem begins with a lump in the throat; a home-sickness or a love-sickness. It is a reaching-out toward expression; an effort to find fulfillment. A complete poem is one where an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found the words.

All poetry is a reproduction of the tones of actual speech.

Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper

A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age

Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can't and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it.

and one of his first poems :

Into My Own

One of my wishes is that those dark trees,
So old and firm they scarcely show the breeze,
Were not, as 'twere, the merest mask of gloom,
But stretched away unto th eedge of doom.

I should not be withheld but that some day
into their vastness I should steal away,
Fearless of ever finding open land,
or highway where the slow wheel pours the sand.

I do not see why I should e'er turn back,
Or those should not set forth upon my track
To overtake me, who should miss me here
And long to know if still I held them dear.

They would not find me changed from him the knew--
Only more sure of all I though was true.
